I almost hate to write this post. Sometimes, I get ahead of myself. I get too excited and then everything falls apart. However, I really feel good about this! And I don't think things will "fall apart" because we're so far into it. We may fall back a few steps, but things are progressing so well. I feel very comfortable in saying this.
Isabelle is at least 75% over sucking her thumb!!!!!!!!!
Maybe even more than that. I am being a little careful. :)
In the past week, she's done it maybe once at night time. The other nights, she's going all night & keeping it out of her mouth. It's completely dry in the mornings! The skin on her thumb is even starting to look normal again. Nice & smooth...
She still can't stop at nap time. In fact, she's been skipping her naps because she says it's too hard on her. It's been days since she's taken a nap and I think it's finally starting to catch up with her. She was so tired and upset tonight! Before we started on this mission of "No more thumb," she took 2-3 hour naps, every day. I know she's getting old enough to not need naps, and I also know there are kids her age and younger who have already grown out of naps. I just don't think that she can go from taking such long naps to not taking any is such a short amount of time. So, please pray for her!
Once she has completely, 100% stopped sucking her thumb we are buying her a fancy Ariel princess dress! She picked it out on her own and loves it. She knows that the only way to get that dress is to completely stop! She's done so very well so far. I'm so proud of that little girl! She's so excited when she wakes up and her thumb is dry. She runs into our room with her thumbs sticking out to show us. She is so proud of herself!
Please, continue to pray for her! She's almost there :)
